Christians who fail to vote are shameful

Roughly 104 million people of faith, including 41 million Christians, say they're not going to vote this November. That's not just a dereliction of patriotic and biblical duties. It's an open door to demonic forces to steal away this nation's government. Published October 15, 2024

Sheriff-gone-nuts on bungled burger order shows arrogance of civil service sector

Sheriff Craig Owens was so angry at Burger King employees for botching his order, he called for police backup and faster than he could finish singing "have it your way," three siren-blasting cop cars arrived on the scene. If only individuals being robbed in the streets could get such a show of police response. Published October 14, 2024

Bold & Blunt: November beckons, as world erupts in flames

This November is a crucial turning point for America, for Israel, for free societies of the world -- because the two candidates for the White House couldn't be more different in their approaches to policies and platforms. Published October 8, 2024

That’s rich: Democrats decimate economy, then blame businesses

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Madeleine Dean, both Democrats, sent cease and desist letters to heads of major companies about "shrinkflation" -- the practice of cutting portion and product sizes while jacking up prices to consumers. That's rich. As if the Democrats themselves weren't to blame for causing the shrinkflation in the first place. Published October 8, 2024

Corporate DEI’s long, slow, happy death

Toyota, facing backlash about forced Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training as well as its sponsorship of pro-LGBTQ events, is reeling in the woke and changing its mind about participating in measures pushed by the leftist advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign. Yay. Another DEI agenda bites the dust. Published October 4, 2024

Global attack on free speech is Hail Mary hit at Elon Musk

Democrats have been doing an awful lot of whining about the perils and dangers of free speech lately. It's no coincidence it comes as election season heats; Kamala Harris falters; Donald Trump rises; and Elon Musk has made it impossible for the tyrannical left to stifle dissenting views on his social media platform.

Bold & Blunt: Democrats use race to divide and conquer

Democrats do love their race cards. It's their go-to for political weaponry. And if you want to know why America seems so divided right now, look only to the Democrat Party. Divide the country into tiny segments. Set those tiny segments against each other. And watch as the political chaos comes. Published October 1, 2024

Chumley: Israel fields terrorist fire — and hatred of West

Israel is under attack from Hamas, from Hezbollah and now, from Iran. And most of the Western media go: shut up and take it, Israel. If it weren't for Western media and the narrative that terrorists are victims and Jews, the hostile aggressors, much of what is taking place in the Middle East would stop. Published October 1, 2024

Hillary Clinton sees time is ripe to curb free speech

Times have changed. Democrats know this. So they're growing bolder by the day. This is the reality of today's political battles. This is the reality of today's political battles. It's not about party domination; it's about saving America from Marxists and preventing them from crushing all our cherished freedoms. Published October 1, 2024

China the largest elephant in the Election Day room

Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris is the story that will determine whether globalists get their Great Reset win; whether America's borders will remain porous; whether inflation and redistribution-of-wealth schemes will destroy this country's economy and entrepreneurial spirit. But a bigger contest is America vs. China. Published September 30, 2024

McDonald’s french fries and lies won’t win the White House

French fry service is not the American dream. It's a step toward achieving the American dream -- and it's a very low level step, at that. But Harris thinks low-level, zero-skill jobs like the ones that dominate the fast food industry should pay enough that workers could stay the french fry service course their entire lives.

Harris spins heads with border spins

Vice President Kamala Harris spins so much on border policy she could power 100 dreidels with a single cackle. Her campaign staffers recognize this, so they're sending her to the border to do damage control -- i.e., to get photos of her posing with her hands on her hips, like some sort of swaggering Marlboro Woman.

Bold & Blunt: Atheism breeds mental illness

Take a look around at all the mental illness on display in America's streets rights now, not to mention the lunatic fringe that's been elevated to normalcy -- LGBTQ, anyone? -- and the question pops: What the heck is going on, America? In a word: atheism. Published September 26, 2024

Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s communist president nutjob, spouts his rot in U.N. speech

Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in remarks at the United Nations, called for a "world revolution" against the likes of America and Israel and, oh, all that's good and proper and moral in the world. His god of environmentalism told him to say all that. So did the antisemitic demons whispering in his ear. Published September 26, 2024

Bold & Blunt: Democrats embrace racism as politics

Barack Obama didn't have a large pool of political history when he ran for president -- and he not only spent his campaigns tossing down race cards, but also his eight years in the White House, using the color of skin as a means of dividing the nation and drumming up votes. The Democrat playbook continues. Published September 24, 2024

Bold & Blunt: Restoring the American Dream is very possible with God

America's best days are yet to come, so long as Americans, as a people, realize that solutions don't come from government so much as from God. That means if America is to regain its exceptionalism, then Americans must turn back to God. That's really the essence of it. Published September 17, 2024

Trump skirts bullets, but not Democrats’ mocking

Donald Trump may have dodged yet another assassination attempt. But what he can't avoid is the vicious derision of Democrats who want to poke fun at the near-death experiences of the former president. This isn't even politics anymore. This is pure evil on display. Published September 17, 2024

U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., makes special remarks during the worship service at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Sunday, March 24, 2019, in Atlanta.

‘Evangelicals for Harris’ a curious twist of Scripture

"Evangelicals for Harris" said in a Facebook post that Kamala Harris "shines through in her clear Christian values." That's an interesting view for a woman who labels the ending of human life in the womb a "reproductive freedom" and who denies she's ever flipped on her views. Lie. And Jesus doesn't like lies.
